Kick off the festival of Chanukah in style with a grand community celebration at the Enfield Square Mall!

The Chabad Jewish Center has announced plans to host a free, open-to-all holiday event on the first eve of Chanukah. The program will be held on Tuesday night, December 16th, at 6:00pm. The festivities will be held at Sears Court in the Enfield Square Mall - 90 Elm Street.

A giant (9-foot-tall!) Menorah candelabra will be lit, hot cider and potato "latkes" (pancakes) will be served, a mega "Dreidle" (spin-top) game will be played, face painting and balloon animals will add to the fun... There will also be festive music and free raffles. Enfield's Chanukah celebration will bring joy to local residents!

"Lighting the first candle is a really special feeling," said Rabbi Yosef Wolvovsky,Executive Director of Chabad. "Come out to the mall and let's begin Chanukah in style." The Rabbi adds that there is a spiritual significance to this act. "It teaches us that our one flame, our next positive act, can add much light to the world. This is yet another reason why it is a great time to celebrate together."

This event is free of charge and open to all. Children and adults are welcome to this special evening!
